Hi everyone. Im not sure if its possible to send an mp3 attachment using mail(); I cannot get the mp3 to add as an attachment but rather as a large string of text in the email. Can anyone help?

Are you base64 encoding the file, then setting the Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 ?

yeah i am here is my code.

 

$fileatt = "audio/" . $Location1; // Path to the file
$fileatt_type = "(audio/mpeg)"; // File Type
$fileatt_name = $Name1; // Filename that will be used for the file as the attachment

//$email_from = ""; // Who the email is from

//$headers = "From: ".$email_from;

$file = fopen($fileatt,'rb');
$data = fread($file,filesize($fileatt));
fclose($file);

$semi_rand = md5(time());
$mime_boundary = "==Multipart_Boundary_x{$semi_rand}x";

$headers .= "\nMIME-Version: 1.0\n" .
"Content-Type: multipart/mixed;\n" .
" boundary=\"{$mime_boundary}\"";

$message .= "This is a multi-part message in MIME format.\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type:text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit\n\n" .
$message . "\n\n";

$data = chunk_split(base64_encode($data));

$message .= "--{$mime_boundary}\n" .
"Content-Type: {$fileatt_type};\n" .
" name=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .
"Content-Disposition: attachment;\n" .
" filename=\"{$fileatt_name}\"\n" .
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64\n\n" .
$data . "\n\n" .
"--{$mime_boundary}--\n"; 





	//$to = $_POST['number'] .'@' . $_POST['ctype'];
                   $to = "[email protected]";
	$headers = 	'From: ' . $site_email . "\r\n" .
	    		'Reply-To: ' . $site_email . "\r\n" .
	    		'X-Mailer: PHP/' . phpversion();
	$subject = "Your audio From my site";
	//$message .= $Name . ' ' . $Artist;
				if ( mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers ) ) {
					$msg = 'Your audio has been sent.';
				}
				else {
					$error = 'There was an error sending your audio please try again';
				}
}

any ideas?
